Studio Sessions with Cubase: Tinlicker - Part 1

Future Music and Steinberg team up for their seventh season of Studio Sessions with Cubase. For this first episode, we visit the Dutch masters of house and techno, Tinlicker in their Utrecht studio as they unravel the production secrets behind their track Bird Feeder including details on how they create their beats and bass lines, process vocals, and layer synths in Cubase.
'Bird Feeder' is taken from the Tinlicker album: This Is Not Our Universe which is out now on Anjunabeats, more details here: anjunabeats.co...
The second part of this video series will be aired on Tuesday, 17th March.

I'm so happy to see brilliant producers with simple EQ.

[@rikocapeleiro]

These guys are amazing!! Big fan from Brazil!! We should get a full masterclass from them

[@alanmaxwell6649]

This is a Masterclass.... techniques to EQ, compression, reverb . Sound design and arrangement, mixing and metering, it's all here,

[@MonkyDollqueen]

It takes a lot of courage to push through hard times. Never give up. Good things are coming your way. ❣️❤️

[@melhorespod]

amazing initiative @Future Music , we need more dj/producers from Anjunadeep (and from Bedrock, Last Night on Earth and Lost & Found too... by the way, is so rare material from these guys.. specially from the israeli prog. house vibe, aka Lost & Found dj/producers)

[@kyleversemusic]

Very in-depth studio session! This was so helpful to learning how to manage low end and mix around the key elements. Thank you guys!

[@dusza574]

Love these guys even more now. Super inspiring and real. Can't wait to make some vibes this weekend! Big fan from Chicago. ✌️❤️

[@djctoafn]

Have and always will love Black Sun Empire and have loved Tinlicker from day one. Big ups!!

[@MT-jq9ij]

Now this is a PROPER tutorial. Comes as no surprise since its one of the best names in the game, and one of my favs. Tinlicker really know what they're doing.

[@2chrisward]

Never heard of these guys. Great tune, great walkthrough, great attitude.

[@user-zc5hb2tw2s]

Agin Manuel Sleepwalker, Empty Skies remix, W.T.F. remix, Gone Girl also!

[@EFIDIUMmusic]

really down to earth guys with great potential! very inspiring!

[@Ska83gbr]

Thank you SO much for taking the time to walk us through this incredible tune. I learned a LOT! See you in London 😉

[@danielbrown1724]

Been waiting to see these 2 blokes and their setup/process. Hell yes, dank je wel hoor.

[@willsea604]

anxious awaiting Part 2 for this video..

[@ricksto87]

I feel using span is the greatest tip here. You can have loads of beats and synths but if all gels together well it sounds huge! Great stuff here guys!

[@normallochie7390]

Love these guys, they are probably my favorite artists.

[@HousePlant_Ambient]

Haha, I was try to figure out how they do those stabs progression throughout their tracks. Love it.

[@alexbarn]

Love these guys...great to see them talk through this track. Thank you!

[@kinwinglam1042]

best Cubase sessions i have seen on youtube, respect gasten ga zo door box box

[@ostaadmusic4441]

They seem like such nice, awesome people. Which is what is sticking with me (in addition to the great walk-through of this iconic song). Cheers to you both *hugs*

[@mingwingming1971]

This is fantastic and deserves a lot more views and thumbs - possibly one of the best breakdowns of a track and processes I have seen using cubase.. respect to these guys for being totally open about their work flow.

[@FlaviuSound]

THX a Lot for this awesome insights 🤩 Guy’s you are sooo gifted in what you are doing! Just keep going on Your tunes are just awesome 👏

[@MannyWalks]

These blokes are the best. Huge fan and thxs a million for letting us in a project. You guys are crazy talented and deserve all of the success that is coming your way. Cheers m8s. WHEN IS PART 2?

[@directed6924]

The sound selection and layers are perfect

[@sayhellotoroy]

black sun empire skills :)

[@arcadia87music]

Nice watch. Exactly what I needed today to relax.

[@Dewi32]

right, in light of the current world situation and all the self isolation I find it only right that Future Music Magazine publish part 2 immediately. It's Almost as imperative as closing borders.

[@diegocostaonline]

this track is a beast! the structure itself its amazing and chors are fantastic

[@cause_effect]

Wow..so much to learn from it thank you guys!

[@xaero212]

This is gold. Thank you!

[@rubenderonde]

Epic video, thanks!

[@DreammzShow]

[@phillipelois]

Wonderful !

[@adriangussolovskiworld9440]

So cool djs

[@giancarlodalmazzo4421]

Part 2 please!!

[@alexanderetxe7555]

Absolutely fantastic - I was wondering about the pre/post fader question as well, and your answer makes perfect sense. Some beautiful music you two have been turning out the last few years. Would love to get a full masterclass from you both - would you ever consider doing something for Sonic Academy when (not if) they approach you?

[@Melanholix]

Great stuff!

[@kyleog17]

whattt sick my man Dosem just dropped a remix of these fellas its kiler

[@yrmymusic9897]

son los mejores!!!

[@drummerjeroensimons]

Leuk die gasten hier te zien, succes jongens!!! Groeten, Jeroen Simons, Independent, ex - Epica.

[@lucasluan12]

Great!!

[@soundsofthenewberlin]

I see you guys insert a few ttimes the return effects such as reverbs and delays right on the main channel instead of sending them to an FX Channel. Whats your explanation on that since that way you dont have the same amount of control as it would be if you d send them. Second Question: When you send to an FX Channel on your mix, do you send pre or post fader?

[@jvanachthoven]

answer to first question: we like to work fast. Insert effects plugins on a return is just because its way more faster. if its disturbing the mixdown we try to change it to a send. But sometimes a send channel just sounds way to 'clinic'. second answer we mostly do use pre fader. but also most send channels also go to a main group channel for the synthesizers. so everything is controlled... 'mostly' :P

[@kylebeckx]

@@jvanachthoven oh shit what you got a reply from the man himself can I get a hell yeah!!

[@StanfordtheArtist]

Yeaasss! Soo..euh...Where’s Part 2? Asking for a friend. ;-)

[@tarcan6655]

2:30 Micha be like “no, dont say that no.. 😣”

[@ctx_12]

How much headroom is being left for the master? I see some faders at 0db

[@benbrooker]

Headroom isn’t necessary these days... so many producers mix in to master chains... just spoke to Jon Kong from Leftwing:Kody the other day and he produces with a full master chain active

[@nikolazimmermann8547]

Where is the part 2 ?

[@AndrewPRoberts]

That's funny, I ever since I started using Cubase I've learned that a lot of my favorite musicians also use Cubase. First Noisia, now tinlicker?

[@arielsantos7162]

Ohhh 😮

[@DAUBSKI]

the plugin dudes :)

[@MrLonalk]

🖤

[@gnowelyk]

33:30 Lol they didn't cut it out :P

[@rutgervandesteeg]

haa geweldige video dit !

[@LOIKI769]

where's the part 2?

[@lawless4078]

How did you guys eq the sub?

[@Rexalt]

Anyone recognize those presets from a bank? I want that preset bank.

[@baardmanbeats]

anyone else search 'ss_kick_water_stone' into splice?

[@alanmaxwell6649]

Baardman music it’s in Singular Sounds Tropical House pack.

[@K100music]

Have the given up on Black Sun Empire?

[@benbrooker]

One of noisia decided to do a house project too... gotta go with the times; drum and bass is a at a strange place; liquid is dominating right now and Neuro isn't as popular commercially

[@MarkDanov]

@@benbrooker dnb has never been in a better place imo :) I think it's just artists expressing themselves in different genres so as not to get bored of the same music all the time.

[@michaheyboer]

Don't worry Black Sun Empire is still fully operational :D

[@blackbird3149]

@@michaheyboer looking forward to that driving insane remaster LP!!!

[@mistahbenn]

Why is the audio distorted!?!?

[@Jmacaa11]

These dudes have got a high pass filter on their hairline

[@mostlyharmless88]

Music for non-musicians. I'd respect these guys more if they actually created their sounds instead of downloading samples. Where is the art in that? Yeah yeah -- "it's how you use them." Fuck outta here. It just seems like cheating to me. Taking credit for shit that isn't yours. How about the artists out there making electronic or sample-based music that actually PLAY the fucking instruments > record them > sample their own recordings? Is that too much to ask? It's as if that's so difficult that 99.9999% of electronic "musicians" accept the excuse of that being too tough. What a truly inferior type of music that lacks the depth and artistry of pretty much every other genre, other than top40 pop. I get it, most of you here love it -- I believe you do. I also believe there is such thing as good and bad taste. xo
